Teacher Colloquium
Our Fall Colloquium with our Project eHIKES teachers went really well yesterday. Dr. Paul Finkelman of the University of Tulsa College of Law spoke about the courts and then specifically the New Deal court. He'll be back this summer to talk about a wide variety of topics, including slavery.
The teachers really respond, not surprising, when they are taken seriously as professionals. And all it takes is a bit of an acknowledgement that their day to day world is indeed much more difficult than ours - not only the bureacracy, NCLB, and at least some of the parents.
It's always sad to see the day end but we'll be together for ten days this summer. And some I will also see at Project Primary Sources during June.
